As a child, he traveled extensively with his family due to his father's work, returning to France when he was seven.

[5] His early partners included Caroline Truong, Emeline Leroux and Albane Saillou.

In the 2007–08 season, Pechalat/Bourzat won silver at both Skate America and the Cup of Russia, and qualified for their first Grand Prix Final, where they finished 6th.

They were forced to miss the 2008 French National Championships after Bourzat underwent knee surgery for a torn meniscus,[10] but returned to the ice in time for the 2008 Europeans, finishing 5th.

In July 2008, Péchalat/Bourzat moved to Moscow to train under Alexander Zhulin, with whom they had spent a few weeks in 2007, and his assistant Oleg Volkov.

For the 2009–10 season, Péchalat/Bourzat were assigned to the Trophee Eric Bompard and Skate Canada as their Grand Prix events.

Prior to the final, Bourzat suffered an ankle injury, but they were able to skate well enough to earn their first GPF medal, a bronze.

[14] Following a second consecutive 4th-place finish at Europeans and a 7th place at the Vancouver Olympics, Pechalat/Bourzat elected to return to their Circus free dance from the 2008–9 season.

They initially used Amélie for their short dance but replaced it with Doctor Zhivago prior to the 2010 Cup of China.

[11][21] Following the event, reports surfaced that Péchalat / Bourzat would move to Michigan to train with Anjelika Krylova and Pasquale Camerlengo.

[11][22] In May 2011, Péchalat/Bourzat confirmed their move to the Detroit Skating Club in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan for the 2011–2012 season.

[23][24] They said that Camerlengo was the only coach they considered, based on their past experience of working with him during their time as juniors at Lyon,[8] as well as wanting to continue the technique they learned under Zhulin: "[Krylova] is exactly in Zhulin's footsteps as she perpetuates the basics and technique he taught us.

[27] They also spent time during the summer in Lyon to work with choreographer Kader Belmoktar on their Egypt-themed free dance.

[32] After winning the silver medal at the Trophee Eric Bompard, they qualified for their fourth Grand Prix Final.

They set a new personal best in the free dance to win the bronze medal at the Final.

On 9 January 2013, Bourzat sustained a partial tear of the adductor muscle of his right leg, resulting in the team's withdrawal from the 2013 European Championships.

[41] The duo decided to compete at the 2013 World Championships, motivated in part by the desire to obtain two spots for French ice dancers at the 2014 Olympics.

On 20 May 2013, at the French skating federation's suggestion, Péchalat/Bourzat announced a coaching change to Igor Shpilband in Novi, Michigan.

[1] Although they initially planned to retire right after the Olympics, they ultimately decided to end their competitive career at the 2014 World Championships in Saitama, Japan.
